                                   ORDER

     Adopted:  June 11, 1996     Released:  

By the Chief, Mass Media Bureau:

     1.  This proceeding began on April 1, 1996, when the Mass Media Bureau, by delegated
authority, released its Order to Show Cause and Hearing Designation Order, DA 96-465
("HDO").  The HDO ordered KXSA Radio, Inc. ("KXSA Radio") to show cause why the license
for KGPL(AM) Dermott, Arkansas should not be revoked.  The HDO specified issues to
determine whether KXSA Radio has the capability and intent to expeditiously resume broadcast
operations of KGPL(AM); to determine whether KXSA Radio violated Sections 73.1740
(Minimum Operating Schedule) and/or 73.1750 (Discontinuance of Operation) of the
Commission's Rules; and to determine whether, in light of the evidence adduced, KXSA Radio
possesses the requisite qualifications to remain a Commission licensee.  

     2.  By Order, FCC 96M-117, released May 15, 1996, Administrative Law Judge John M.
Frysiak terminated the hearing proceeding because KXSA Radio failed to file the requisite notice
of appearance.  Pursuant to Section 1.92 of the Commission's Rules, the Judge also certified the
case to the Commission.

     3.  The Commission's records indicate that KGPL(AM) has been off the air since
December 29, 1993, and off the air without authority since September 5, 1995.  In light of the
foregoing, we conclude that KXSA Radio has no intent to resume broadcast operations and has
violated Sections 73.1740 and 73.1750 of the Commission's Rules.  We therefore further conclude
that KXSA Radio is not qualified to remain the licensee of Station KGPL(AM).  Although the
HDO included a Notice of Apparent  Liability for willful or repeated violations of Commission
rules, because of the action taken herein, no forfeiture is being imposed. 

     4.  Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED, that the license of KXSA Radio, Inc. for KGPL(AM),
Dermott, Arkansas, IS REVOKED.

      5.  IT IS FURTHER ORDERED, that the call sign for Station KGPL(AM) is hereby
DELETED.

      6.  IT IS FURTHER ORDERED, that this proceeding IS TERMINATED.

      7.  IT IS FURTHER ORDERED, that a copy of this Order shall be sent by certified
Mail - Return Receipt Requested to KXSA Radio.  

                                                               FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION
